IN THE "LITTLE CANYON OF TIIE BEANS"
The canyon is located northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, within easy automobile
distance, and is visited by many tourists. Ancient peoples of this valley carved with stone
implements small rooms called "cavate lodges" in the sheer cliffs of tufa, and were there
fore under no compulsion to construct elaborate community houses such as are to be found
at Pueblo Bonito.
